Another thing about the ending

mind you I'm not being a hater here (I loved the series) it just seems like Edmonds death was anti climactic. I mean no change of character (even with Gankutsuo gone, him losing all of his wit and intelligence, and the episode bgefore that left me drooling for a good climax. And why were they crying? Haidee and Albert were almost killed because of him! I mean he was nice to them before, but I just wished they showed that more clearly. (but it was a good Idea having franz's wound being the key that kills him). Please don't call me simple minded, I'm not disagree-ing with your point of view, I just want insight.

I will agree his death was some what anti climatic, althought I really do like how they did it and I don't think it was a bad ending.

Albert and Haidee were crying because they still loved and cared about Edmond despite the things he did. Franz told Albert in his letter, not to hate anyone, because feelings of care are quick to turn into those of hate, so that's why Albert still admired/loved him and choose to forgive him in the end and why he still felt sorrow when he died. And Haidee cried because she had been with Edmond almost her whole life and still loved him as well despite what he said/did.

And Edmond died because of the wound that Fernand gave him. He stabbed him earlier with a sword though the chest, which was Franz's wound as well. And when Gankutsuou left wound was still there and killed him. (just to clearify)

I also liked how he died because of the fact that Albert was able to free him from Gankutsuou, which killed him all the same, but if not for Albert doing that then he would have continued to live, but also suffer. So his death served as the ultimate release from his suffering and craving for revenge.

And you are not simple minded, you're just stating your opinion, as am I. ^_^
